Heads up for Friday the 26th?

A bang bang bird

Sometimes I get lucky. Serendipity isn't my strong suite but this afternoon I had quite a treat.

On my way back to finish my work shift at 4, I happened to pass a crowd on the Falkill falls path.Thinking they were looking at a reported Summer Tanager,instead when I asked my friend Joe, hes says " Hooded Warbler",of course I'm going to stop.

What followed was a show by this warbler. Flirting through a large downed oak tree, the gorgeous male Hooded Warbler is an extroverted one,providing close stunning looks- definitely a crowd pleaser. I heard about this bird late morning from Ed Crowne and I was glad to find it --a bang bang bird in that I jammed right into the crowd and get my bird immediately.  

In other reports beside the previous Lower pool Virginia Rail, a Summer Tanager also at Fallkill Falls,was seen at the edge of Upper Pool. A second summer tanager appeared at Greenwood Cemetery Dellwater this afternoon.

Two prime warblers

The top two warbler pursuits for today remain with a twist for one of the species.

The main guy our SWAINSONS Warbler remained in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It was spotted at a "triangle" south of the restrooms behind pier 4.Also a report I read placed the bird on the walkway between piers 3&4 ; look for birders for help.It of course feeds on leaf clutter mostly within shrubbery.

Prospects Prothonotary Warbler at West Island in southwest Lake continues but with a twist. A reliable birder reported a second Prothonotary on the Island! As I suspected when I was alerted of one at Peninsula the past week, this likely bird joined its companion on West Island.Pretty cool stuff.

The latest on Swainson Warbler

The latest regarding the Brooklyn Bridge Park megararity is that the warbler moved approximately 100 yards north of it's last position the pier 5 upland area of the past two days. 

It was found and more birders were rewarded. Check the area between pier 4 and 5 . Learn it's song if possible 
The primary song, sung by males, is a loud, cascading teer, teer, teer, we-tee-widow, or similar, often likened to the song of Louisiana Waterthrush. An alternate song, seldom heard, is a jumble of twittering notes, recalling an American Goldfinch's song.

A great cause for earth day

A short stroll is a golden oppportunity

 Sunday afternoon I decided to go for a short stroll in Prospect and I succeeded with a golden bird.

I have to confess: I can't get enough of a Prothonotary Warbler. With the one at West Island-- still residing there for several days now --it was too tempting not to go see it. It didn't take me long. Someone pointed it out and I was awarded really excellent looks as the bird foraged on the islands south tip tree; eventually it worked its way along the west shoreline offering great contrast for watching birders and photographers. Sometimes it came toward us for mainland shrubbery and then back. Just a wowza bird.

After an hour I continued on for Three Sisters islands. On the Hammerhead ,I picked up seeing my first seasonal Yellow rumped warbler and a Green heron flying across the lake to land in 3 Sisters.

At one point I took a breather and sat on a bench. And here I was an audience for a probing Pine Warbler ,my favorite, as it moved within an old Mulberry Tree. What a treat!

Sometimes going slow with ease and disregard for big number days is the way to go. 

Happy Earth Day.🌎

Today is Earth Day

 Do something for the planet and habitats..small ways go a long way.

My cell video Swainsons


 

My yingyang SWAINSONS Warbler



About 8 years ago, I got the back half of a presumed Swainson s warbler in Prospect Midwood ,found by the very modest birding virtuoso Ed Crowne. This morning I added the missing jigsaw puzzle piece half, the more important front half.

At that time 8 years past ,I happened to see Ed after working with a chainsaw crew cutting a down tree across the path. Upon my inquiry to him, he mentioned "Swainson". I replied oh yeah those thrushes are in. " No ,he said "warbler". Shocked ,I muttered xxxxxx! What followed was futility trying to get this Skulker in heavy brush; the one time with help from kind birders, was a back view before disappearing into brush,never to expose itself and my kings county record went uncompleted.

Fast forward to today ,I got to see an extroverted bird- so open,so tame. And more importantly, the front half,YingYang consummated.

It took me a long walk from the F train York St station,almosta mile easily to arrive at Pier 5 backwoods upland area. Though I had the map coordinates, I was hoping to find birders. That was easy and easier still, the birders pointing downward to the leaf clutter where lo and behold, my nemesis bird fed less 10 feet away, finally  personallya big relief!  

As they say, "patience is a virtue "or maybe a better  saying,"Good things come to those who wait."

Thank you ,birders.
